Linn Lingo 3 Power Supply – Black

Here we have a nice Lingo turntable power supply from Scottish company Linn. The first Sondek LP12s were produced in 1973 with a simple power supply feeding the motor. In 1982 the Linn Valhalla was the first of the upgraded power supplies produced, and was an inboard power supply designed to isolate the rotation of the turntable motor from variations in the mains supply. The Lingo series was first launched in 1990 as an outboard power supply which provided many sonic benefits over the Valhalla power supply. The Lingo 3 comes in an Akurate style case and, although the circuit board is the same as the Lingo 2, it does bring sonic improvements. It is in very good condition coming supplied in original factory packaging along with manual, mains cable, and connection accessories as required, plus our standard three month warranty.
Linn Say….
Lingo is an external power supply designed exclusively for the Sondek LP12 turntable. It offers unsurpassed speed accuracy for both 33.3 and 45 rpm, plus precise filtering of mains voltage to ensure harmonic distortion is kept to a minimum.
At the heart of the Lingo are two very low-noise crystal oscillators – one for each turntable speed. These coupled with the mains filtering provide the LP12’s 24-pole synchronous motor with an exceptionally clean sinusoidal waveform. Load-sensing ‘stall detection’ circuitry is used to feed the motor with higher voltage for increased start-up torque and reduced voltage once the platter reaches the selected speed.
Lingo offers an easy upgrade for existing LP12 owners using Valhalla or Basik power supplies. It is available in black and silver finishes from qualified Linn outlets worldwide.
